From what I've read/heard, slotted or cross drilled are really only cosmetic. Lemme see if I can find the article.

stainless steel lines are good
don't use drilled rotors, slotted holds better the more u brake as more green gases are built up and vented
I pushed some power slots for 3+ yrs and held excellent and now they have some treatments for them which make them even better
titanium shims prevent fluid boil
other than that, AEM has a kit which uses a bigger rotor but stock caliper, might be the in between option when considering a full bigger rotor and caliper option

For the kind of power you should have from the 1.3, you can run SIR brakes in the back and a big brake upgrade in the front.
You just want to do a bolt on ? What about some fab work and looking at the brake setup from a prelude ?

if you want something a bit cheaper than type-R, you could go with prelude brakes.. the one with the 11" rotor! thats big stuff.. will squeeze behind the average 15" wheel with a few mm clearance.. perfect!!

i think i just going to go with the Si rear upgrade from the standard drums...
i find that KVR pads work well too...
